Maintenance suggestions
My '98 Jeep Cherokee Sport 6cyl Auto trans has 160k with no engine or
tranny repairs done. The radiator and water pump were replaced at
120k. Maintenance has consisted of one set of plugs, one rear end
fluid change, oil changes at 7-12k intervals, two tranny fluid changes
and the usual brakes & tires.
I love this thing and plan to keep it for 250k miles. My mileage has
dropped from 20mpg to about 17ish and guess it's time to do a few
things. What would you-all suggest for maintenance now at this high
mileage?
Thanks,

O2 sensor, before the excess fuel your passing out the exhaust

Amazing! And you said you loved it! People usually maintain their
vehicle via their owner's manual:
